IBM Smarter Cities Challenge

In 2010, IBM Citizenship created the Smarter Cities Challenge to help 100 cities over a three-year period to address some of the critical challenges facing cities. They do this by contributing the time and expertise of their experts from different business units and geographies, putting them on the ground for three weeks to work closely with city leaders and deliver recommendations on how to make the city smarter and more effective.

IBM are encouraging cities around the world to apply for funding - in order to be eligible for the IBM grant, city mayors need to apply before December 16, the application is online via: https://smartercitieschallenge.org/reg.do.
